The recent meltdown on the UK’s rail networks and the major disruption it caused was rightly met with criticism and condemnation from rail users, politicians and the media – who have been searching for answers as to how this could have happened.

Buses and coaches are now the only modes of transport that do not have a national investment strategy. But even at local level, outside London, buses don’t feature…

A whole new train fleet, OK reliability and more chance of getting a seat –…

The Transport Knowledge Hub is a fantastic resource and I’m really excited about the opportunity to explore how we can maximise its use among transport stakeholders. In the South East Midlands, investing in local transport infrastructure has unlocked significant economic growth. The Hub offers a formal framework for sharing expertise with decision makers around the UK, as well as learning from the experience of others. This will enable more investment to be directed towards local and sustainable forms of transport.
